ONE CANNOT help admiring the prompt
and effective manner in which the law 8
are enforced in Russia, whether or no t
he admires those laws. It is capital
offense to attempt to take the life of the
sovereign, or do him bodily injury. On
the 18th of March there was one of the
periodical attempts on the aiife of the
Gar, though His Majesty knew moth
ing of it until afterwards. Some of the
conspirators were promptly arrested
and tried, and on the 31st three of them
were executed. There must be some
thing wrong in government when the
ruler is so unpopular that he fears his
cook and body servants, and dares not
show himself on the street lest he be
made a target for bombs and hand
grenades; but that wrong cannot con-
sist of failure to apply the laws. In
this country fellow can kill the Presi-
dent in broad daylight and in the pres
ence of hundreds of witnesses, and he
can, if he has money to employ lawyers,
stand off the executioners for months
or years, if he cannot even die natural
death. The administration which is
prompt. efficient and effective is more
to be admired.

accommodations and attractionssit had
provided. What was the result2 Its
trains were crowded with passengers,
and the branch railway was from the
first profitable investment: during the
summer season the hotel was full of
paying guests, and in the winter the
house was well patronized. We are told
that the hotel investment was so re-
munerative that it will be Immediately
rebuilt, though nearly half a million
dollars will be required to do it. 1t
would be interesting to know what the
Southern Pacific's Monterey invest
ment, including railway, hotel, grounds,
etc., amounts to, and what has been
the return; but it is safe to say that the
property is among the most valuable of
all that belongs to the great corpora
ton. Enterprise and business cour-
ace created Monterey and brought to it
patrons who pay millions annually for
IS ent r;ainmentsand pleasures.
The same things would achieve
similar results elsewhere. The At
Gibson Topeka & Santa Re railway COM
pany expended a million or so in a
wretched little spot up in the noun
tains OF New. Mexico, above Las Vegas,
called it Hot Springs, and has for years
been coming money from it. FITS mag
nlficent Montezuma hotel has been
twice burned, and each time replaced
by one costing more than that de-
strOyed.
In Utah, the Union Pacific company
owns bathing beach that is incom-
parably ahead of that at Monterey in
all desirable respects; there are hot and
mineral springs along the lines of the
Union Pacific in this Territory which
are SO much superior to those at the
Vegas as to make a comparison odious
indeed. The California company and
the Santa Fe, went in to develop and
build up the countries through which
they run, and catch business and make
money for themselves; but
he Union Pacific has cared
little or nothing for the resour-
ces of this Territory, and has seem
ingly not ex' rted itself to make money,
being content to accept what would
n, cessarily go TO it without effort on its
part.
1t is to be hoped that the great rail
way corporation with which Utah's
d4stlnies are so closely linked, will in
augurate a new and more advanced
policy in this Territory, and will help
itself and US by utilizing the advantages
and resources which nature has crow
ded around it. If the Santa Fe can
attract millions to Hot Springs every
year, and the Southern Pacific can
make its Monterey investment profit
able, the Union Pacific has more than
one bononza in Utah. which is so gener-
ously favored by nature.

DOUBLE TAXATION.

The matter of double taxation is
being impressed upon borrowers and
Iosners in a very foEcible manner this
year. The assessors are scrutinizing
the records, and sending notices to the
holders of mortgages that they will be
taxed on their mortgages. This seems
right and proper enough. No good
reason can be shown why a mans
money should not be taxed as well as
his house, his watch, his COW or othei
property, The mortgages represent
actual money, and ought to be taxed
fnily as much as any other property
value. But has the city or county the
right Is put double tax on any prop
erty2 And if it has such right, is it
just to assess and collect the tax2 A
tax on mortgage and on the property
mortgaged is clearly a double tax. A
man loans another $1,000, with which
the second builds house, giving a
mortgage on both house and lot to III
sure the payment of the debt; the
mortgagor is required 10 pay the tax
on the house which was built
with the $1,000. Then the mortgage
has to pay tax On the indentical ST, 900
which has already been taxed in tho
house of the mortgagor, the public thus
forcing g double contribution from the
one property or one sum OF money.
This may be good law, but it is not just.
The injustice is intensified in the opera
ton of the system. As matter of fact,
both taxes fall upon the debtor, though
one may be collected from the creditor.
The latter can invest his money in such
ways as to avoid the payment of taxes.
if be ioans on mortgage, he will insist
upon receiving, besides his interest, the
tax rate as well. We understand that
money lenders are calling in loans since
the assessor has been sending out
notices of mortgage assessments, and
are refusing to lend money on mortgage
except on the condition that the Dor
rover will pay the taxes on the mort
gage as well as the interest. Thus
the poor man is required To pay a
double tax, while the rich one escapes.
a better way, and one which would be
based on justice, would be, if mort
cages are taxed, to permit the mort.
gagor to withdraw from the roll the
amount OF his mortgage. The matter
is causing = good deal of comment
among borrowers and lenders.

WHEN IT was discovered that the
British treasury contained surplus of
$4,000, 600 the, Cabinet went Immediately
to work to devise an equitable scheme
for reduction of taxation. When the
American Congress saw q treasury sur.
plus of $10o, 900, 900, and that the sur
plus was increasing radidly, it did not
propose to reduce the burdsnsome taxes
affecting the people, but invented al,
manner of schemes fot'squandering the
money, and presented various excuses
for keeping the taxation at war rates
This difference in the conduct is ex-
planned by the fact that in great Britain
they have statesmen to manage the
government, while in this country the
demsgogues exercise a good deal of in

THE MORMON OUTLOOK.

Gazing into the future with the aid of
the headlight Of experience we may
discern two tracks, along one of which,
it is quite certain, Mormonism will
escape destruction.
Leaving out the factor of Divinity
and Judging alone by the analogies of
human experience, we may argue from
Mormou slavery to Mormon emancipa-
ton. Nor do We mean emancipation
from those siiken threads of a common
religious belief, which suggest but do
not compel unity of action. but emanci-
patton from actual chains and prison
bars forged for them by pious hypocrites.

They Were Kind to the Fish.

There were four ladies once went
fishing. They selected very rainy
day and they had all their waterproof
cloaks and head and feet covering.
They were all By themselves when they
took aboat and went to fish, 1t was in
Maine. With feminine earnest they
started off without anything to put the
fish in. They had an elegant time until
they caught a pickerel. When they
caught the pickerel they didn't know
what to do with It. It was alive flop
ping. They had it In the bottom of the
boat. They wondered why it didn't lie
quiet. At last happy and benig n
thought struck one Of them.
Poor thing It's getting all wet ly.
ing in the raiu.'
And she whipped off her waterproof
and wrapped it up it. Each of the fonr
caught pickerel, and each Of the four
wrapped 1t up in her waterproof and
the rain wet them through to the skin,
but they kept their fish dry all the same.

Sir Walter Scott ut School.

Sir Walter Scott, when he was boy,
had II hard time getting to the head of
his class. He could get up next 10 the
head, but the lad above him was too
good a scholar to pass. Scott, however,
kept his eyes open, and one day he no
ticed that the lad. when reclting, kept
tugging at certain button on his jack
ct. iThis he soon snw was habit, so
Walter quietly cut off the button when
his classmate was not looking.
At the next recitation, the boy, un-
aware of his loss, put his finger where
the button had been, missed II, became
confused and broke down.
Young Scott took the head of the
class and kept it. No doubt the great
writer after ward regretted the trick
for trick it was, and very unfair.

a Chestnut Worth Retelling.

In one of the colleges professor who
made himself friendly with the stu.
dents was walking out with an intelli.
gent scholar when they saw an old man
hoeing in a corn field. He was adyanc-
ing with his work toward The road, by
the side of which lay his shoes. AS it
was near sunset, the student proposed
to play the old man joke. Il will hide
his shoes we will conceal ourselves be-
hind the bushes and see what he will
do
No. said the professor, it would not
he right. You have money enough,
just put dollar in the old mans shoes,
then we will hide behind the bushes and
see what he will do
The student agreed to the proposal,
and they concealed themselves accord
ingly.
When the laborer had finished his
row of corn he came out of !the field to
go home. He put on one shoe, and felt

the dollar. He looked around him. but
saw no one, and looked gratefully to-
ward heaven. He put on the other
shoe and found another dollar. He
looked all around him, but saw no
one. He then knelt upon the ground
and returned thanks TO God for the
blessings which had been conferred up
on him. The listeners learned from the
prayer that the old mans wife and one
of his children were sick, and that they
were very poor ; so that the two dollars
were great relief sent to them from
heaven.
There said the professor, how
much better this is than to haye hidden
